Not While I'm Around

by Wakahisa D. Manami

Law is finally free, but at great cost. He's gravely injured and fighting to come to terms with the most recent developments. His best friend is in prison and he's not allowed to see him; his mate has found out about the circle; the secrets he intended to take to the grave are being revealed one by one. He never wanted anyone to find out. Not like this.

39. Chapter 39

"Are you sure you want me to come with you?" Buggy asks.

"You're my father. Of course I do."

"Law will be there, won't he?"

"He and Kid."

"Kid's taken you well?"

"Yeah, he has. He … almost treats me like a second mate."

"That's good; very good. You take care of yourself, Leo."

"You too. I'll see you then."

"Wednesday at three. I'll be there."
